I don't actually know, but I am using a setup identical to BobbyM's where you use a street elbow with a male NPT camlock and use the threaded end as the barbs. In fact, I put a ball valve on one end of each hose so I am guaranteed always to have a shutoff, not matter what I'm doing.

To get that stuff off, you should use a flap wheel and then follow that up by using a green scruby with Barkeeper's Friend. The oxalic acid in it (which does the cleaning) will oxidize the stainless, which passivates it. Make sure you get all of the spots off with the flap wheel before using the...

This is where you can get the 1/2" NPT camlocks from Proflow Dynamics: http://store.proflowdynamics.com/modules/store/-Couplings-for-Homebrewers-_C12074.cfm These are all stainless, which are preferable to aluminum for easier cleanability. I was able to get everything I needed for $60 for my...

Honestly, I would do it to taste. The lacto has the potential to get it really sour, but I would stop it where you find it enjoyable. Now keep in mind that you'll be diluting the sourness, so you'll want it way over the top and just blend it back in to a point you find pleasant. You might...

I would only go with that if you're only going to be using whole leaf hops, otherwise I would use a finer mesh.

You could always try using this: http://www.amazon.com/dp/B001N3YKJ0/?tag=skimlinks_replacement-20 with the corresponding bain marie (1.5 qt version of both). It would be pretty easy to solder on stainless couplings and add a modified stainless strainer for less than $100. If you think...

Yeah, I pitched the 630 two weeks ago (1/23 to be exact), and I had about 2 days of bubbling with it tapering off at the end of 48 hours. The third and fourth day, it would bubble about every 5 minutes. After that it has just sat there. However, this is keeping the temperature at 19C. I'm...

Yes and no..... I wouldn't do a starter with the WLP 630. The reason is that the yeast needs oxygenation and the lactobacillus doesn't handle oxygen well. I would pitch separately the european ale yeast (don't know the number) and lacto, each with a separate starter. Oxygenate the yeast starter...

Hey Yuri- It's been a few years since you built this, have you had any problems with oxidation? I am hesitant to make my own out of steel due to rust.

I assume that you're placing your heating element in a cooler. I just looked up the type of plastic for the 10 gal ones, and they are made of polyethylene. Pretty much nothing will stick to that or polypropylene. I have tried to use DP8005 as well as many of the other newly developed...

This guy is selling his bench cappers and a few cornies. I got the 5 carboys from him yesterday. Thought some of you could benefit from this... http://sacramento.craigslist.org/for/1557035666.html

Can I get a quote for 2 to 95695? Thanks a bunch!
